Sundays

Transforming QuestionsBegins Sunday, September 10 | 9:15 a.m. | Parish HallTransforming Questions is a ten-session course designed to help participants engage basic questions of the Christian faith through teaching and conversation. When we gather on Sunday mornings, a leader will present a central question of the Christian faith. Then, in small groups, participants are invited into deeper reflection on and engagement with the question. Meant to show us that wherever we come from, we all have the same questions, Transforming Questions is perfect for the newcomer and the longtime churchgoer.

Book ClubSundays | 9:15 a.m. | GSES 1st Floor Conference RoomThe Eclectic Book Club is a small group which meets to discuss books they have selected. They read both classical and contemporary literature. As people of faith, they tend to focus on spiritual issues in discussion, yet sometimes the discussion is more varied. Weekly readings are manageable for a busy lifestyle.
